If it's like the Danby... you could do a profile wash by adding a "Y" fitting off the cold water line and have it go to both the hot and cold inlets. It would take a long time to heat, but it should be able to do it. | ||

Pre-wash cycles have been eliminated by some because research has found that for all but the most grossly soiled laundry, today's modern detergents cope quite well with normal soiling in the "normal" cycle. Older Miele washers used to have a pre-wash by default for all "normal" cottons,permanent press and even delicates. By the time the 1900 series came out, pre-wash was elimated from the normal cycle, but could be chosen as a separate option. Commercial laundromat washing machines use a pre-wash because their darn cycles are so fast they need to get rid of much soiling before the main wash. Only time I use the pre-wash on my vintage Miele is when I want to follow it with a wash temp of 160F to 200F. By doing a cold water pre-wash or using the extended soak option, can allow the washer to fill with hot tap water for the wash cycle, thus cutting down on how long the machine will take to heat (ok, boost) the water up to the required temp.

A final rinse and spin cycle can act as a prewash if there are no othe settings for prewash. You get a short cold agitation and a spin dry then just set again for a normal hot wash. | ||
